With most of the UK’s 2010 festivals yet to announce any acts, next year’s BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR is off to a great head start with 10 stellar acts already announced, including the latest four bands to be added to the already impressive line up.
First up, it’s an honour to confirm that Swedish Metal masters DREAM EVIL will be kicking off the proceedings at BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2010, with the first slot of the festival. With their catchy, anthemic and powerful brand of Heavy Metal, we can’t think of a more fun way to get the party started.
Bassist Pete Pain is looking forward to the band’s return:
“It’s super nice to come back to play at the festival where we baptised Dannee Demon as new DREAM EVIL axeman. The memory fragments from Bloodstock are just positive and we feel great about coming back again in 2010! See you all soon!”
Symphonic Goth Metallers LEAVES EYES will be flying over to the UK next August especially for their appearance at BOA 2010. States frontlady LivKristine:
“The norsemen and women are back on the British Isles! We are looking forward to perform “Njord” live at Bloodstock Open Air, 2010. This will surely be a special event for both audience and band as the concept of our third and latest release is heavily influenced by the Vikings’ experience and influence on British ground in the Middle-Ages.”
Bandmate and co-vocalist/keyboard player Alexander Krull is in agreement:
“It’s great that we are able to play Bloodstock next year! Last time it didn’t work out because of our time schedule in the studio, so we are really looking forward to this show! All our British friends and fans told us to play Bloodstock which is a really great metal festival! See you all there!”
Bringing the brutality to Bloodstock, Death Metal legends SUFFOCATION will be joining the line up for an exclusive UK festival appearance – your only chance to see them outdoors in the UK in 2010. Their first UK festival appearance, the band’s back catalogue of Death Metal classic such as Infecting The Crypts, Effigy Of The Forgotten and Pierced From Within means fans of the more extreme end of metal are in for a treat.
Last – but in no way least – German Metal Goddess DORO will be performing at BLOODSTOCK’s 10th Anniversary. The feisty frontwoman will lead her band through a thunderous set, which is bound to include some old WARLOCK numbers such as “Hellbound” and the classic “All We Are” in tribute to her former band.
BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2010 is shaping up to be an unmissable experience, with BEHEMOTH, OBITUARY, RAGE, DEVIN TOWNSEND, ANDROMEDA and ROSS THE BOSS also confirmed.
